Best iphone and ipad games this week:

PlunderNauts (Free + IAP)
Pirates in space is a theme that's been tapped by numerous games and TV shows in the past, with PlunderNauts an impressive update of the idea. Your job is to loot galactic booty (so to speak) in your spaceship, crafting weapons and upgrades to keep your fleet in shape, and plotting your space-battle strategy.

Stick Soccer (Free + IAP)
This is the work of Stick Sports, following its previous Stick Cricket and Stick Tennis games. Here, you're flicking a ball to score goals – one of a growing number of "flick-to-kick" mobile games. One neat feature: you choose your country then see your points count towards its total in a global contest.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril (£2.99 + IAP)
There are plenty of fans of the various Lego games, with Marvel's Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man and other super heroes the latest to get blocked up for an action-adventure. More than 90 characters, in all, with 45 missions to play through – themed packs provide access to the different heroes.

Powerpuff Girls: Defenders of Townsville (£2.49)
Earlier this month, Cartoon Network announced that it would be developing new episodes of its Powerpuff Girls cartoon – the first since 2005. But in advance of those, here's an official mobile game for Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. It's a fun action-adventure as you explore its Townsville setting, unlock new abilities and battle big bosses.

Mucho Party (£2.49)
Microgames – think Wario Ware – have been a hit on other devices. Mucho Party is trying to do a similar thing for iOS, with 30 games designed for fast multiplayer fun. The idea: you take on a friend across the various games, although there are AI-controlled players when nobody else is with you. Colourful and silly, in the best sense of the word.

Dungeon Gems (Free + IAP)
The inspiration for this Gameloft game is clear: lucrative puzzle-RPG game Puzzle & Dragons. As in that game, you're fighting monsters by matching shapes – runes in this case. There are 220 heroes from which to marshal your party, and – as ever for this genre – in-app purchases to speed your development if desired.

Hero Hunt (Free + IAP)
Hero Hunt looks interesting: a "tactical collectible card game" where you collect and upgrade superheroes, then send them into three-on-three battles where you swipe at enemies to cast spells and launch attacks. There's a solo quest mode plus the option to battle other players and form clans.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (Free + IAP)
Another big movie brand gets a mobile game, this time from Japanese publisher Mobage. It's a "3D combat runner" starring the Autobots and Decepticons, as you switch between robot and vehicle while powering through the levels, unlocking new Transformers as you go.

ColourColor (Free + IAP)
Finally, something really intriguing: a colour-matching social game for iPhone. You play by taking a photo of something nearby, then challenging a friend to find something near them with as close a colour match as possible. It has the potential to be a Draw Something-style success, if enough people pick it up.
